The happiest countries in the world want “net-negative emissions,” not just “net-zero emissions.” Because of this accomplishment, more Carbon Dioxide is being taken out of the air than is going into it.
Finland and Denmark are the happy countries that are working toward a future with no net emissions. With this goal in mind, they will no longer be adding to climate change and will instead be helping to slow it down.
The happiest country in the world for seven years in a row is Finland. By 2035, Finland will have no net pollution, making it the first high-income country to do so. Denmark wants to hit net zero by 2045. The country is thought to be the second happiest in the world.
Lars Aagaard, the European Union’s climate minister, spoke out about climate pollution and how important it is to make changes. “I don’t think people will agree with that future.” “So, negative emissions are important for us, and we can’t keep our long-term climate promises without them,” he said, adding, “Now is a good time to talk about it.” “Let’s not wait.”
Denmark, Finland, and Panama formed the Group of Negative Emitters last year. This is a group of countries that want to take in more carbon dioxide than they put out.
The Finnish Climate Minister, Kai Mykkanen, said that getting rid of fossil fuels was “the right thing to do” and that they plan to leave a bigger “climate handprint.”
All of this is happening at the same time as the “greenlash” in the EU. Farmers and people who don’t believe in climate change have spoken out against the EU’s plans to deal with the problem.
Many people in Germany and France have spoken out against these kinds of policies, which has caused a political storm. When it comes to climate change policy, there has also been pushback in the US.
